Car Cloud Turns Big Data Into Smart Insights
Editor's Notes
Now 11 integrated projects with the addition of Data Processing, most widely-supported cloud platform
5x the capacity for the same cost
Launched with a team of 4 ahead of schedule in geo-redundant data centers
Mixing and matching public and private clouds, including with AWS.
Old appliance couldn’t complete the task. OpenStack environment did the job in 40 minutes for 1/10 the cost
